His Maid 18: Ain't she a beauty?
I stood there, confused. I mean, it could be other things too, but it could also be the whole thing of his stories disappearing. “Oh yes, Homer?” he called out“Yes?” I replied “Could you please clean my bedroom? It is very messy again.” he sighed “Okay,” I answered and carried off my supplies. He asked nicely; he did not bark at me for not adding the ‘sir’ at the end of my response. He was in such a good mood, and it disgusted me. Was it his birthday? Was he going out on a date? Did he hit the jackpot or with the lottery? I had all these thoughts spiralling in my head, wondering why he would suddenly be in such a good mood out of nowhere. I reached the bedroom and found it as messy as expected. He had clothes thrown everywhere, his bed was not laid, and there was an expected puddle of water in the bathroom. Was he trying to turn his bathroom into a swimming pool or something? This time, there was something different. There was a laptop on his large messy bed. I walked over to
His Maid 19: Sunday
It was now Sunday morning, and I was back in my crappy apartment. The heating of my water had been miraculously fixed, and I had been able to take more than enough showers. I was able to pay Adam a little money with whatever Dominic had been offering me; everything seemed pretty good except for my dusty apartment. I was sitting in bed, scrolling through my very slow phone, when it suddenly vibrated in my hands. Someone was calling me. An unknown number was calling me. I hesitated to pick it up, so I stared at it for a while, hoping it would eventually stop ringing, but it did not. “Hello?” I answered worriedly as I placed the phone on my ear. “Homer…” a familiar male voice groaned “Dominic?” I asked in shock “I think you meant to say, Sir Dominic Hall,” he replied irritatedly “Sorry…” I wondered why he was calling me on a Sunday morning. “What are you doing today?” he queried “Uhm… nothing in particular. It’s Sunday. I was going to go to the mall, do shopping, maybe bake a ca
His Maid 20: VIP Guest
I froze. It was always about a guest when he would suddenly order me to clean up quickly. Was it Ruby? Was it Sadie? Was it Rebecca? Was it another female?We had reached the kitchen, and there was a slim and short woman standing by one of the countertops. She had an apron and a chef’s hat under her black outfit that looked like surgical scrubs. A chef? A caterer? Who was this special guest?“Homer, meet Winston, Winston, meet Homer.” Dominic said as he pointed around, “Homer, I need this kitchen squeaky clean as soon Winston is done with here.” He walked out of the kitchen, and I stood there, puzzled. I looked at this lady pouring things into a bowl, whisking them, and then running to another end of the kitchen to pick something else, then back to her gigantic bowl. “Hey, I am Harper Holmes.” I cleared my throat and tried to start a conversation“So, he also gets your name wrong.” she laughed “I am Ari Wilson.” So, I wasn’t the only one that had to deal with him calling me anoth
His Maid 21: No one special
“Wow! The house still looks the same. I can see you still don’t like to decorate your place.” he laughed as I could hear the clucking sound of his shoes on the marble floor. It sounded like they were now heading towards Dominic’s office. It meant that this special guest was someone close to him to casually carry him to his office. What if it was his lawyer? What if it was his brother? When I saw that the coast was clear, I tiptoed my way out of the kitchen and to my bag in that awful room. I pulled out my phone and rushed back to the kitchen. I searched ‘Dominic Hall’, and nothing apart from his business popped up. Maybe this guy was one of his workers from the office? I knew it couldn’t be his father because why would he call his father by his first name? secondly, the guy looked like Dominic’s age. As I stood by the countertop trying to decide who this special guest could be and how they knew each other, I heard the 2 men laughing in the office. I peeped and saw the door was s
His Maid 22: Setting Up
“It’s Harper, actually.” I quickly responded. I was not sure where this person was from or how they knew me to be calling me Addison, but I was not ready to deal with whatever Dominic would say. “Addison?” Dominic questioned as he looked at me and then back at his friend “Do you two know each other?” I stared right at the man. His face was nowhere close to familiar. I had never seen him, but he continued to blink at me as if he was matching my face to some random image he had in his head. “No sir, I have never seen him.” I quickly answered, hoping we would take his eyes off me. I did not want to be recognised by anyone. Absolutely no one. When he casually referred to me as ‘Addison’, I began to shake and feel uneasy. “I feel like I have seen you around, though.” he continued to stare at me. He even narrowed his eyes as if he was really trying his hardest to place where he had seen me. “Nope, this is the first time I see you.” I shook my head as I walked closer to him with small
His Maid 23: Come on, have a seat
There were still a few more pots and containers of food that needed to go to the dining room, and no sign of Dominic. I had to get them there somewhere before he entered the kitchen again to reprimand me, but after hearing what Dominic just said, I was terrified of going back there. It seemed like his guest was getting close to figuring me out, and Dominic suspected I was a potential criminal. “Nonsense…” Hale finally laughed the awkward silence away. “I would never be involved with someone like her.” Someone like me? “Well, I don’t want to see you interacting with her,” Dominic said. Why was Dominic forbidding his friend from interacting with me? Did Dominic have an interest in me and was worried his friend would swoop me away? Did Dominic suddenly think I was cute enough? “Why? I can’t even say hi or ask her how she is doing?” Hale wondered. I really hoped that their lunch and dinner conversation was not only going to be about me. There were other things they could have talk
His Maid 24: Maybe next time
“I think Homer has a few things of her own to get to. Remember, it is a Sunday. I must have pulled her away from whatever she was doing.” Dominic said while staring at me, hoping I would understand what his face was trying to say. I then looked back at Hale, who had his usual cheeky grin on. He was the complete opposite of Dominic. Hale looked like he had escaped his mother’s womb with a smile on his face, and other humans came out crying. And then Dominic, on the other hand, looked like he had never smiled. Hale raised his eyebrows, hoping it would entice me more. I looked back at Dominic, who looked even more cross. Part of me wanted to push it by sitting down to see how Dominic would react, but I just knew that if I pulled a crazy stunt like that, Dominic would not hesitate to fire me right there.“Homer, didn’t you say you had a sister to check up on?” Dominic asked “Come on, Dom. Just a few minutes. She can eat, sip some wine and then be on her way out.” Hale pleaded “Oh, I
His Maid 25: Who is it?
I did not sleep at all that night. I spent the whole night squinting at the message through the cracked screen, wondering who it was and what they meant by I couldn’t hide from them forever. It was about 7 am in the morning, so I decided to get out of bed, take a quick cold shower again and get dressed up. Maybe it was my landlord? Nah, of course, it was not him. I have his number saved. Maybe he changed numbers and was trying to reach out. But he usually just calls, and then he eventually comes all the way to knock on the door.I walked around the room as I got dressed up, thinking and wondering who could be the unknown number. I dressed while glancing and looking through the window every second. It felt as if someone had been watching me ever since I got that random message. After dressing up, I quickly packed up my maid uniform and spare clothes in my bag. Maybe it was Dominic? I rushed back to pick up my phone and compare the number Dominic called me from the previous day an
